Plan a Train Vacation in Switzerland

Switzerland: known for creamy milk chocolate, skiing, watches, and, of course, trains.

Switzerland is one of the world’s most famous destinations for rail enthusiasts, and for good reason: Its most popular trains bring travelers through the scenic Swiss Alps, promising panoramic views of luminous lakes, glittering glaciers, and small storybook villages along the way.

From the Matterhorn to St. Moritz to the Glacier Express and Bernina Express, there are plenty of places and ways to experience the mountainous country. If you don’t know where to begin, Railbookers has put together a must-read guide for any traveler who wants to see Switzerland by rail. Better yet: Railbookers will take care of all the details of your trip, from hand-selecting sightseeing excursions to booking you the best seats. We also provide around-the-clock, on-trip customer care, so you won’t need to spend a moment of your vacation worrying about your next plans.

If you’re set on checking the Glacier Express off your bucket list, this five-day itinerary from Zurich to Geneva is a great starting point. You’ll be immersed in the sights of the Swiss Alps, taste the luscious chocolates of Zurich, and hear the sounds of birds flying through the many Swiss lakes along the way.

For a longer, deeper dive into Switzerland, the 10-day trip from Lucerne to St. Moritz, with stops in Interlaken, Jungfraujoch, Montreux, and Zermatt, is the way to go. There’s a reason it’s called the “Best of Switzerland”: the itinerary will bring you on the Glacier Express, Bernina Express, Jungfrau Railway, and Golden Pass with opportunities to ride a cable car up to Mount Titlis, experience the luxury of St. Moritz, taste the wines at Lavaux vineyards, and take in the breathtaking views of the Matterhorn.
